rx2600 firmware and OpenVMS 8.3

[William Webb_2]

Running two rx2600 systems booted from EMC storage; firmware is at least 6 months - 1 year + out of date-

What is the most recent version of firmware available for these boxes (online shows something for 8.2-1 but nothing for 8.3)

What version of firmware have you found works best with VMS 8.3?

Thanks

As per the release notes of OpenVMS 8.3 at
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/83final/6677/ovms_83_rel_notes.pdf the tested and recommended firmware version for server rx2600 is
SFW - 2.31
BMC - 1.53
MP - E.03.15

Knowing this document is dated July'06, there is a possiblity that the latest firmware maybe compatible/tested for OpenVMS 8.3 . You might want to contact HP support to confirm about this.
